A notable action from the meeting was the unanimous approval to allocate $112,000 for scholarships intended for the year 2024. This amount will benefit eight scholarship recipients.

In addition to the scholarship allocation, the commission accepted an $11,000 donation from BOS Bank. This donation underscores the collaborative efforts between the commission and local businesses working towards the welfare of individuals with disabilities.

A motion was made to reject the memorandum; however, it was withdrawn to avoid potential open meeting law complaints. A decision was made to table the matter until the next meeting to ensure proper procedure and transparency.

The commission also announced the availability of over $5 million in ADA Improvement Grants for municipalities, starting May 1st. This funding opportunity, presented at a conference sponsored by the Massachusetts Office on Disability, highlights the ongoing efforts to improve accessibility and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act across the state.
